NP - Campagnolo 11 x 15 Magnesium Wheels OEM
Soon to be restored, a pair of OEM 11x15 Campagnolo Magnesium Wheels

and not to be confused with the current remanufactured alloy wheels, these are in fact the early Mags! The back-spacing is just under 6" inches

and with that I'm hoping to stuff the wheels with rubber under my (extended/widened) steel fender flares. My initial inspection revealed I have just about 12" from the inner fender well area out to the outer lip of the steel fender flare, see here

and here also

but after receiving the wheels and taking a width measurement

that number is just under 12 inches

from lip-to-lip

It appears that I will have to extend out even further my steel flares and that could be something I may not want to do at this point. Any ideas, aside from bending flat the steel flare outer lip? I cannot imagine milling down the center hub section of the Mag wheel

by about .25 inch, which will also affect the back-space distance. This is now a big dilemma... Do you think these 11x15 wheels will fit???

Drop me a line if you installed a set of 11x15 at the rear of the car. Thanks! ~
